I'm no EE, but I did take Circuits 101 in college
Might be more work than you're willing to put-in, but here's what I did with a signal cable (coax), and it's still working.
Created a "boat" out of aluminum foil and put it under the wire (while in the ground, exactly where it would be after I put dirt around it). Then I melted some soft wax (in a tin can in the garage), then came out to the hole and filled-up the aluminum foil "boat" with the wax, entirely covering the connector and wires going into the connector. Then I buried it, trying not to move it at all while doing so.
